Spanning the breadth of Benjamin Godard’s compositional life, this selection of piano music includes the gracious and warm Nocturnes, which show some Chopin influence, and the Trois Fragments Poétiques, Op.13 with their long-spun lyrical melodies. His sparkling vivacity and more virtuosic side can be savoured in the late Fantaisie en trois parties, Op.143.
